Kapurthala court grants bail to Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira in criminal intimidation case
Kapurthala: A local court on Monday granted bail to Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira in a criminal intimidation case. Kapurthala Judicial Magistrate (first class) Supreet Kaur also asked the Bholath MLA to furnish a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh, Khaira’s counsel Kanwaljit Singh said.
The Kapurthala police had registered the case under Sections 195-A (threatening any person to give false evidence) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code against Khaira on the complaint of Ranjit Kaur.
Khaira was arrested in this case on January 4 after he was granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in connection with a 2015 NDPS case. Kaur is the wife of Kashmir Singh, a key witness in the 2015 drug case.
Khaira was arrested in the 2015 case, triggering accusations of political vendetta against the state’s ruling AAP from the Congress.
He had been seeking bail after his alleged role in a Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case surfaced during investigation by a special investigation team.
